Pine
Island Kiwanis Club is one of the top Kiwanis clubs in Florida and is
made up of area retired and current businessmen and women all who volunteer
time for Kiwanis events and have fun doing it. Kiwanis members, their
families and other community volunteers run all events; there is no
paid staff and virtually all the proceeds benefit Pine Island youth.
While
the economy has taken a serious hit, we believe the “Taste”
is the best day-long food and entertainment value you will find anywhere
in SW Florida. Last year the event showcased over 70 vendors and had
a packed venue all day. Pat says, “As of the end of December we
have already signed up over 99% of ’09 vendors and have a lot
of new vendors. So if you are considering becoming a vendor, get your
application now because spaces are going fast.
We
just ask that you tell a friend then come, join the thousands who choose
to make this an essential yearly pilgrimage, have a good time while
enjoying some of Pine Island’s great food and cold drinks, live
music and a Beautiful day on Pine Island.

The
committee was honored to have interviewed all of these young adults. We
found them all very sure of themselves and they knew exactly what they
wanted to do in the future.
The
community and businesses of Pine Island, along
with the parents of these students, should all be very proud of what these
young people have already
accomplished and what they are going to be accomplishing in these hard
times ahead.
All
the members of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Pine Island would like to wish
them all good luck and know they will all have successful and productive
futures and hope they eventually come back to their roots and support
their beautiful community of Pine Island.
